Agreed, I HATE motoblur!!! I have the D2 and it took what feels like forever to finally remove all traces of it.

Nice… but I’m probably still going to get a dual core – mostly because by the time my contract is up I believe most of the “uber” phones will be running with them regardless.

Falcon34…every smartphone under the sun takes a few moments to open up apk’s like dialer, SMS and others when you open them for the first time since you’ve started up your phone…EVERY ONE, and don’t say “my phone doesn’t” because I know it wont be true.

The NVidia Tegra 2 chip is far superior when it comes to processing HD quality graphics. So far there hasn’t been any comparisons on the actual performance of these phones so as far as I am concerned it’s all just speculation. The snapdragon has been a proven chip for performance, but I think everyone needs to just relax until the Tegra 2 has been put through the same tests. NVidia had a demo of a pre-release Tegra 2 at their convention back in October or thereabouts if you want to catch up on their new chip. Read UP skeptics http://www.nvidia.com/object/tegra-2.html

DUDE BLUR STILL LAGS OMG! Even with a dual proc it still lags. Did you see how long it took for the phone dialer to pop up? Also scrolling through the home screens is not responsive at all. BLUR IS A LOOSE LOOSE SITUATION! Motorola get a damn grip common this phone would be sick with Vanilla Android on it and not this crap.

Saving an upgrade? I think Verizon just did away with what we would call upgrades. Your now on your own with no new every two plan. I do think you can still get phones at the 2 year contract prices but no more new every two reduction in price.

My next phone I may actually opt to purchase it outright. I’m also going to be doing warranties with Square Trade from now on. They are way cheaper over the lifetime of the phone and they will reimburse cash value of phone instead of giving you a crappy refurb and charging you $90 deductible. In one year, most phones kept in good condition can still be sold for $300 or so. So you would get half the value back out of the phone and be able to purchase the next latest and greatest.

1ghz core+1ghz core=2 jiggahurtz cores.
If I root and overclock I will 4 Jiggahurtz.. jigga hurts ?? then put some cream on it. (JK of course)

Motorola is really putting themselves back on top again with the hardware in the last 2 or 3 years I am happy to see this.
(and yes I am )

You mean data will transmit over 3G or 4G , voice will transmit over 1x voice channels as all phones do.
If the big draw for LTE networks is that now you can do voice and data at the same time, that would be awesome.

Man o man…people really need to research how a “Dual Core “ Processor works. FIRST of all, just because there are two cores it does not mean that it is 1Ghz a piece. Its two cores, running at 1GHz. There is no “1+1 = 2 GHz “. Each core will run up to 1Ghz TOTAL. Together, they make 1Ghz. This is the wide mis-conception about multiple cores to this day. Sure, multi tasking would be easier, really? Also, unless your software or apps are made to utilize dual core processors, you will never know the difference in speed because you will be only doing one thing at a time. This is NOT a PC or tablet; it’s a cellular phone lol. A rooted Droid X is more then sufficient for today’s tasks, and tomorrow’s for the matter. ” o-m-g….I need a dual core phone to make supper fast phone calls “. WTF, are you guys encoding movies with your cell phones? Years ago, folks said Quad Cores wouldn’t be enough to keep up with gaming and software of today and future proofing this and that blah blah blah, but yet, my Quad Core computer is collecting dust and the only ” speed ” I notice is in synthetic benchmarks I run to cure my inner geek OCD which yields nothing but useless numbers. If you need the latest and greatest, great! If not, chill out…it’s not the end of the world. Unless you start physically texting at the speed of Octal Core and physically talking at 20G LTE X Extreme speeds, find a phone that suites your life style and remember, over kill is every where these days. /end rant

Let’s hope and pray that the bootloader isnt locked… maybe Moto learned from the DX and D2… but then again it wouldn’t surprise me if it is… and thus the reason why the D1 is still champion of Moto’s DROID series
